Both my wife and I suffer from stress in our everyday lives. In despair I bought this CD from Amazon. Lo and behold, it works wonders! First and foremost, she has a wonderful calming voice. The CD is well structured and not too long. Most of it is hypnotic suggestions to help you relax, and one small exercise in visualisation. This is one of the best hypnotic/relaxation CDs I have encountered. It really relaxes us while at the same time giving us hypnotic suggestions tom reduce stress.

I have tried without much success to learn meditation; what generally happens to me is that I fall asleep. I really do need to relax however, and these cds are just what the doctor ordered. Ms.Decker's voice is quite soothing - and there's no music in the background to distract you from the sound of her voice. The content is very basic - how good it is to relax and how easy it is to relax - and better yet there's a roadmap of how to remain calm and focused during the times you need it. I would have said that I was the last person on earth who would be a suitable candidate for hypnosis, but after listening to this particular cd every day for a week I am convinced that it has made a major difference in my life and further that it is easier for me to obtain good results by using hypnosis rather than meditation. A further note: there are two 30 minute sessions on this cd - both are equally good.

This CD is amazing! I work for an air conditioning company in Palm Springs - so you can imagine how stressful my job gets when it's 125 degrees! I felt sure that it would either drive me to drink or that I would have to resign...but since I started using the Stress Reduction CD, I find that I take everything much more "in-stride". I started out with Sleep CD because the stress at work was keeping me up at night. That worked so well that I decided to try some of the other products. I can't tell you how much of a difference this has made for me, at work as well as in my everyday life. I'm healthier and happier - and my husband is DEFINITELY happier! I've turned several of my co-workers on to Ms. Decker's products and I wish I could tell the whole world!

Imagine sitting alone on a warm beach late at night listening to the sound of gentle waves lapping at the shore. You feel a light breeze brush your cheek and you gaze upward, catching a glimpse of the full moon as it peeks its head through the clouds and illuminates the sky. Such is the experience of listening to Janet Decker's voice on this CD. It is impossible not to get caught up in the spell as she lifts away the stresses and worries of your day. You will feel like you've just taken a vacation after you've listened to this one.

I have had a serious fear of fire, which I've been in therapy for for almost a year now, and it's been working. Wouldn't you know, I was driving home from work last night, and I passed a small brush fire. I was suprised at how upset this made me. Awesome timing, but my CD was delivered last night as well! I listened to it, and not only slept very well, but woke up this morning with such a sense of peacefulness. Ms. Decker's voice was so soothing, and I found that I responded well to her instructions. I'm a passive believer in meditation and hypnosis and the power of the brain, but after seeing all the wonderful reviews for these CDs I decided to purchase it and am very pleased! I bought the Deep Sleep CD for my husband, and he's the skeptic, but willing to try, so we'll see how it works for him!

Phenomenal tool for reducing stress in your life! Every time I listen to it, I find that I become relaxed and clam. It's not that all the stressors in my life go away, just that I feel like I can handle them a little better. My brain says, "Why worry - it's not helping. Just handle it". I find listening to it every 3-5 days is best - it's amazing how one, two and sometimes even three days after I've listened to the CD, I still feel its calming effects! If you suffer from stress, this is a must have.

I agree with the other reviewers--this is an excellent CD. Her approach and her voice are just right. I don't feel I am as "hypnotized" (in a heightened suggestive state) as I am just focused, but the results are likely the same. My only very small complaint is that the editor in me flinches inwardly just a bit every time she uses the phrase "As best as you are able." That will be my next goal--to not notice that!

This CD has brought Hypnotherapy into the privacy of my own home. It has worked wonders helping me reduce the stress I feel related to my life. Ms.Decker presents her ideas in an easy to understand format with clear concise thoughts. I could follow the CD with no difficulty and definitely felt results after one use. I have used other CD's produced by Ms. Decker and find her work excellent. I will continue to use this CD because of the wonderful benefits I reap from it. The peaceful,serene, calm I feel after I am finished definitely renews my spirit. Thank you Ms.Decker,I am truly a fan.

The CD uses breathing and progressive muscle relaxation as induction technique.

After reading some articles on hypnosis online and elsewhere I had expected something in the line of walking down stairs or riding an elevator for induction. But this works quite as well for me. It does not require you to build up tension before the relaxation (like the Jacobson method would); except maybe for three deep breaths you are asked to take at the beginning.

I was curious whether an audio CD would work with me at all (not being a native speaker), but I had very few difficulties. I had to look up the word "diaphragm" though. I have mostly used the relaxation exercise and only once or twice listened to the stress reduction part. So I cannot give advice on its effectiveness.

I have used one other Janet Decker CD besides this one. Voice is soothing, no trouble settling down and actually relaxing during this stress filled holiday. Got my skeptical boyfriend to try it and he enjoyed it. We both find Ms. Decker's voice soothing and will definately buy more of her products, especially the one for deep sleep as my BF is an insomniac. I have tried other CD by other people and the ones by Janet Decker are just a better choice...in my humble opinion.
